We went through it for about six weeks. it slowly got better. i started giving my LO more baths to sanatize and made sure she got the nutrition she needed to build her immune system. babyganics makes a great bubble bath for colds.

With my first, our pediatrician advised that LO will get sick about every three weeks, cold for a week or two, then a week of no symptoms, then another cold. That's pretty much how it went for my first until we were though flu season and he was 9 or 10 months. Now he's hardly ever sick.

Same here!! He's been in daycare since August & he's been sick at least 3-4 times. It's like once he's over the runny nose/cough/congestion, it comes right back. Right now, we're in a non-sick week, so we're all happy. But he's teething, so he's still a little off. I feel like he's been sick for the last 3 months. And you seriously typed out our lives over the last week - he had major diarrhea & the WORST case of diaper rash I've ever seen. I felt horrible. But he's finally on the mend. I'm sure just in time to get sick again! What's worse is the first few times he got sick, my husband and I got sick too & we were just a big old mess! We all need to strengthen or immune systems.

How long did the diarrhea last and what did you do to get rid of the diaper rash? My poor little girl is going through the exact same thing. Got a cream prescribed by the doctor, but it doesn't look to me like it is helping at all :-(

The only way we could get rid of the diaper rash was aquaphor and diaper free time. I took a day off work and just let him be naked all day on blankets and did approximately 1000 loads of laundry, lol.

Aquaphor is definitely the way to go though, and the regular version is the exact same thing as the baby version. Just make sure the baby is dry before you put it on. It cleared his up in one day when desitin wasn't helping at all
